How do I get a virtual phone number in Canada?

You don't need a Canadian address, a Canadian SIM card or a visit to a store. With a Yesim virtual number, you choose a Canadian number in the Yesim app and use it right away to receive SMS verification codes from services that expect a Canadian number. The codes arrive in the app over Wi-Fi or mobile data, wherever you are. This is useful if you're planning a move or a study-abroad program in Canada, if you do business with Canadian clients, or if you simply need to sign up for a Canadian app, bank or online service without a local SIM.

What does a Canadian phone number look like?

Canada is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), so it uses the same country code as the US: +1. A Canadian number has 10 digits, written as +1 (XXX) XXX-XXXX: a three-digit area code and a seven-digit local number.

The easiest way to tell a Canadian number from a US one is by its area code, the first three digits after +1. Canadian area codes belong to specific provinces and cities. For example:

1. 416, 647 and 437 are used in Toronto.

2. 514 and 438 are used in Montreal.

3. 418 and 581 are used in Quebec City.

4. 780, 587 and 825 are used in Edmonton and across Alberta.

5. 604, 778 and 236 are used in Vancouver and across British Columbia.

When you enter a Canadian number on a website or in an app, select Canada (+1) in the country list, or type the number with "+1" at the start, and enter all 10 digits without a leading zero.

Can I get a Canadian virtual number from India or other countries?

Yes. You can get a Canadian virtual number from anywhere in the world, including India, and use it without a Canadian SIM. This is especially handy for students and immigrants. Before you move, you can already receive codes for Canadian universities, banks, apartment and job platforms and delivery and ride apps. Once you arrive, you keep receiving codes while you sort out a local SIM. A Yesim Canadian number works over the internet, so you can use it from home, while traveling and after you land.

Which Canadian area code should I choose?

Choose the area code of the city or province you're connected to. A local area code looks familiar to Canadian contacts and services, and it's easier to match with your location. If you're not tied to any particular city, any available Canadian area code will do for receiving SMS codes. The choice depends on what's available in the Yesim app at the moment you get your number.
